Hybrid Transvaginal-Transabdominal Endoscopic Surgery

Summary

The is a pilot study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of hybrid
transvaginal-transabdominal procedures. Diagnostic peritoneoscopy (visualizing the inside of
the abdomen), appendectomy (removal of the appendix), and cholecystectomy (removal of the
gallbladder) will be performed through a vaginal incision with an additional small incision
in the umbilicus.

Natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) is a new development in the field of minimally invasive surgery. The aim of this study was to demonstrate a new hybrid NOTES technique in gyneco...

Approximately 0.6% to 4% of cholecystectomies are performed because of gallbladder polyps. The decision to perform cholecystectomy is based on presence of gallbladder polyp(s) on transabdominal ultras...

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions

Transanal Endoscopic Microsurgery

A specialized form of transanal endoscopic surgery for microscopically controlled operations in the RECTUM.

Video-assisted Surgery

Endoscopic surgical procedures performed with visualization via video transmission. When real-time video is combined interactively with prior CT scans or MRI images, this is called image-guided surgery (see SURGERY, COMPUTER-ASSISTED).

Thoracic Surgery, Video-assisted

Endoscopic surgery of the pleural cavity performed with visualization via video transmission.

Two-hybrid System Techniques

Screening techniques first developed in yeast to identify genes encoding interacting proteins. Variations are used to evaluate interplay between proteins and other molecules. Two-hybrid techniques refer to analysis for protein-protein interactions, one-hybrid for DNA-protein interactions, three-hybrid interactions for RNA-protein interactions or ligand-based interactions. Reverse n-hybrid techniques refer to analysis for mutations or other small molecules that dissociate known interactions.

Arthroscopy

Endoscopic examination, therapy and surgery of the joint.
